Chapter 310: The Accused’s Defense Is Meaningless!

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: vb24

"No," Seiji replied. "I'm just temporarily taking care of her."

"So that means you now have a temporary younger sister."

"She's not my younger sister!"

"Then, a daughter?"

"That's even further off the mark! She's just a child that's temporarily living here. There's no other meaning behind it."

"But you're treating her as a younger sister, aren't you?"

"Er… I suppose you could say that."

"Then she's a younger sister!"

There was a sharp glint in Chiaki's eyes. She pointed at Seiji in a pose that seemed to come straight out of Phoenix Wright and said: "You perverted lolicon!"

"Objection! I'm definitely not a pervert; I'm just a pure sis-con!" Seiji did his best to clear his name.

"Fooling an elementary school girl into coming here and becoming your younger sister is clearly a pervert's action!"

"Objection! I didn't fool her at all; I brought her here through intimate friendship!"

"The accused's defense is meaningless! Judge Mika, what do you say?"

"I agree with Prosecutor Chiaki's viewpoint. The accused, please make a more meaningful statement, or show some evidence to prove your point," Mika said expressionlessly.

"Wah… Reo-chan can be my witness."

"A minor that's at the centre of this might currently be under a certain someone's undue influence, so she can't be a witness for you."

"Why is it like this!?" Seiji acted as if he had received a heavy impact.

"Hmph, our side is easily able to summon witnesses." Chiaki revealed a smug expression. "Judge Mika, please allow my first witness to enter!"

"I allow your witness to enter."

"Come, my witness, Kagura-san!"

Shika really did walk into the room and sat down on the tatami. Seiji was surprised for a moment at this.

"Shika-chan…" he murmured.

"Please introduce yourself, prosecutor's witness," Mika said to Shika.

"I am the accused's adopted younger sister, Shika Kagura," the black-haired beauty said calmly.

'No way, you're playing along with them as well!?' Seiji was rather stunned now.

"Kagura-san, do you feel that the accused's words just now are true?" Chiaki asked.

"They were not," Shika said, scrutinizing her adopted older brother's face closely.

'Hey, hey, what's going on now!?' Seiji was stunned even more.

"Oh? Which part was he lying about?" Chiaki smiled faintly, and Seiji saw a dark shadow flicker across her face.

Mika also had a faint black aura around her.

"The sentence 'I'm definitely not a pervert,'" Shika said.

"Why do you say that this sentence is a lie?" Chiaki asked.

"Because he intended to sleep together with the little girl that he just brought home." Everyone heard her calm voice clearly.

Mika and Chiaki were both rendered speechless. Seiji completely froze over. He didn't know what his expression looked like anymore, nor did he dare to check what the prosecutor and judge's expressions were like.

He felt as if… he really were a suspect on a defense stand! This experience was way too realistic for him.

"Seiji…" a low voice called.

He was about to be judged.

'So, being judged actually feels like this…' Just as Seiji decided to escape from reality, he was saved by a young girl's voice.

"Brother Harano… what are you all doing?" the little girl asked, walking out of the study. There was an inquisitive look on her face as she swept over everyone with her eyes.

After some introductions, Reo became acquainted with Mika and Chiaki. The atmosphere eased up… or perhaps it should say that the atmosphere changed entirely.

Seiji felt as if the atmosphere where he was just about to be judged earlier had disappeared completely. Somehow it had transformed into something beautiful and peaceful. However, when Reo admitted that she had promised to sleep together with him, the atmosphere instantly changed back again!

"Little sister Tachibana, even if you're only an elementary school girl, it's not good for you to be sleeping together with a boy," Chiaki said grinning widely. She then shot Seiji a sharp gaze, and added, "He might touch you in strange places, you know."

*Shtick!* A sharp arrow pierced Seiji's chest.

"Yeah, boys are all messy when they're asleep. He'll interfere with your own sleep," Mika added.

"Oh… Brother Harano, are you really like this?" Reo asked.

"I…" Seiji broke out into a cold sweat when faced with the sharp eyes of the prosecutor, judge, and witness. He ended up averting his gaze. "I don't know. Perhaps… I really might do something I don't know about while I'm asleep."

'This is a lie! I'm perfectly normal while I'm asleep!' At least that was what Seiji believed. But due to the sense of pressure he felt from the three girls, he could only say what he did just now.

Reo blinked at this. "Then, I'll try sleeping together with Brother Harano for one night first, and if Brother really does move around too much at night, I'll just sleep by myself in the future."

Try sleeping together with him for one night first?

Both Mika and Chiaki's expressions froze over slightly at this.

"Little sister Tachibana, why do you… insist on sleeping together with him? Are you afraid to sleep by yourself?"

"I'm not afraid; I just… I just want to be together with Brother Harano." The little girl's face reddened slightly after she said this.

Mika and Chiaki were rendered speechless. Then, they both viciously glared at the perverted sis-con in front of them!

'Ah… the sky sure is beautiful.' Seiji looked outside the window in an attempt to escape from reality.

Mika and Chiaki felt awkward about continuing this any further after seeing Reo's attitude.

To be honest, they knew that with Seiji's moral character, he definitely wasn't the type to do anything to a loli like Reo. But… they still felt uncomfortable and displeased inside!

As for just why they were displeased, only they knew.

After chatting for a while longer, the two of them said goodbye and left.

After that was dinnertime.

Seiji and Shika worked together to cook an abundant dinner in order to welcome Reo to move in together with them.

Reo felt that the food was quite delicious. She ate from many dishes and even had an extra bowl of rice.

After dinner, Seiji did the same thing that he did in the soul realm and played video games together with Reo. Of course, the game system and games were borrowed from Hirai's residence.

Just like in the soul realm, Reo had lots of fun while playing.

It finally reached bedtime.

'If I do anything at all to Reo-chan, will a Demon Blade come slicing at me in the middle of the night?'

Seiji couldn't help but think that when he saw Shika's expression as she said good night to him.

He definitely wouldn't do anything to Reo. He definitely wouldn't.

'So… Shika-chan, you don't need to guard our bed all night, you know.'

He was unable to say this out loud in the end.

Reo-chan in her pajamas was of course incredibly cute.

Seeing this incredibly cute little girl get on his bed and lay beside her, Seiji found that his heart wasn't as calm as he had expected.

There were three advantages to lolis, they were light, soft, and easy to push… 'Hey hey! Stop!!'

Seiji brought out the method of reciting as many digits of pi as he could recall that he hadn't used for so long in order to speedily calm himself down.

No matter how moved he was by the scene of a loli in his bed, no matter how strong the cannon fire he was under, he absolutely had to protect his line of defense! He absolutely had to withstand everything!!

'Understood! Sergeant Haruta swears that he shall accomplish this mission!!'

"Good night, Reo-chan."

"Good night, Brother Harano."

They turned off the lights and closed their eyes.

Before long, Seiji felt Reo getting closer to him and hugging his arm.

It was a warm and soft feeling. He could also faintly smell a nice aroma.

'Calm down, relax, she's just a young child…'

Seiji maintained his sense of logic and reason.

He gradually fell asleep…

He heard the sound of crying.

It was as he expected.

Seiji inwardly sighed.

Reo-chan was crying.

This was only natural. She had said farewell forever to her mother, and was now living in an unfamiliar place… as a child, she would definitely feel sad and anxious.

She needed someone to accompany her.

This was the very reason that Seiji had agreed to sleep together with her in the first place.

He didn't say anything as he listened to her cry. He merely reached out with his hand that she wasn't holding on to and gently patted her on the head.

'If you want to cry, then cry to your heart's content. I shall accompany you for this long, long night.'
